On Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night, the host talked about the government shutdown in his opening monologue, at one point specifically regarding the U.S. Coast Guard.

Host Jimmy Kimmel began by showing a guide that apparently is designed to help members of the Coast Guard pick up extra money.

“One group of workers impacted by the shutdown is the Coast Guard,” said Kimmel. “Someone in the coast guard support system put out a guide with a list of suggestions for alternate ways their workers can make ends meet during the shutdown, this is for real. It’s called managing your finances during a furlough.”

He showed the sheet of suggestions, below.

“Why not sell a kidney while you’re at it,” he joked.

Then he moved on to the parody video.

“Not only is the shutdown affecting current members of the Coast Guard, it’s affecting recruitment to the Coast Guard, too.”

Just as AG Barr indicated during the nomination process, there won't be investigative details that were declined for prosecution released by the DOJ in regards to Mueller's investigation. Congress and the public will only see the charges they pursued for indictment. It is against the DOJ rules to discuss the details of investigations that cannot be prosecuted. Comey did it with Clinton, but it is never supposed to happen. He did it only to exonerate her inappropriately and against the advice of the chief DOJ Counsel James Baker. Rosenstein said today that AG Barr will do the right thing and elaborated on his understanding of the matter:“The guidance I always gave my prosecutors and the agents I worked with during my tenure on the front lines of law enforcement were if we aren’t prepared to prove our case beyond a reasonable doubt in court,” Rosenstein said, “then we have no business making allegations against American citizens.”
